Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltungsanordnung zur Verhinderung von Bremsfeldschwingungen in Elektronenröhren, insbesondere für eine Pulsdauermodulationsstufe in Sendeanlagen.The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for preventing brake field vibrations in electron tubes, in particular for a pulse duration modulation stage in transmitter systems.
Betreibt man Elektronenröhren im sogenannten überspannten Betrieb, d. h. die Anodenspannung liegt unter der Gitterspannung, dann treten bei entsprechenden Elektronendichten Bremsfeldschwingungen auf. Diese Schwingungen werden auch Barkhausen-Kurz-Schwingungen genannt (man vgl. Rint, Lexikon der Hochfrequenz-, Nachrichten- und Elektrotechnik, Bd. 1, 1957, Seiten 527 und 528). Die Frequenz dieser Schwingungen ist von den anliegenden Elektrodenspannungen abhängig. Bremsfeldschwingungen treten sowohl bei Trioden als auch bei Tetroden auf. Durch äußere Dämpfung können diese Schwingungen nicht ververhindert werden. Man kann sie nur verhindern, indem man die Anodenspannung nicht so niedrig bzw. den Elektronenstrom nicht so hoch werden läßt, daß sich die Bremsfeld--schwingungen ausbilden können. Das ist schaltungstechnisch in vielen.Anwendungsfällen möglich. In sogenannten PDM- (Pulsdauermodulierten-) Sendern würden diese Maßnahmen zu einer Verschlechterung des Modulatorwirkungsgrades führen.If one operates electron tubes in the so-called overvoltage mode, i. H. the anode voltage is below the grid voltage, then brake field vibrations occur with corresponding electron densities. These vibrations are also called Barkhausen short vibrations (cf. Rint, Lexikon der Hochfrequenz-, Nachrichten- und Elektrotechnik, vol. 1, 1957, pages 527 and 528). The frequency of these vibrations depends on the applied electrode voltages. Brake field vibrations occur in both triodes and tetrodes. These vibrations cannot be prevented by external damping. The only way to prevent them is to not allow the anode voltage to become so low or the electron current to become so high that the braking field vibrations can develop. In terms of circuitry, this is possible in many applications. In so-called PDM (pulse duration modulated) transmitters, these measures would lead to a deterioration in the modulator efficiency.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Regelschaltung zum Vermeiden der BetriebsZUstände zu schaffen, die zum Anschwingen der Bremsfeldschwingungen führen. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Schaltungsanordnung der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein Netzteil zur Erzeugung der Bremsfeldspannung UBr über eine Zuführungsdiode für die Anode einer Schaltröhre parallel zu der Schaltröhre geschaltet ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a control circuit for avoiding operation create stands that lead to the oscillation of the brake field vibrations. This object is achieved according to the invention in a circuit arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset in that a power supply unit for generating the braking field voltage U Br is connected in parallel with the switching tube via a supply diode for the anode of a switching tube.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Schaltungsanordnung wird erreicht, daß die Anode der PDM-Schaltröhre in keinem Betriebszustand eine vorgegebene Spannung unterschreitet, so daß keine Bremsfeldschwingungen auftreten. Die durch' diese Stromversorgung aufzubringende Leistung ist niedrig, so daß sich der Anodenwirkungsgrad der Schaltröhre nur wenig verschlechtert. Durch die Anpassung der zusätzlichen Anodenspannungsquelle an die Röhrentype kann die Wirkung der Schaltungsanordnung optimiert werden. Die Größe der Spannung UBr (Bremsfeldspannung) liegt je nach Röhrentyp bei 50 bis 300 V. Der Strom ist von der Leistung der Pulsdauermodulationsstufe abhängig.The circuit arrangement according to the invention ensures that the anode of the PDM switching tube does not fall below a predetermined voltage in any operating state, so that no braking field vibrations occur. The power to be applied by this power supply is low, so that the anode efficiency of the switching tube deteriorates only slightly. The effect of the circuit arrangement can be optimized by adapting the additional anode voltage source to the tube type. The size of the voltage U Br (brake field voltage) is 50 to 300 V depending on the tube type. The current depends on the power of the pulse duration modulation stage.
